The peasant girl Joan of Arc was a national hero who emerged from the French anti-British struggle from 1429 to 1431. When the British army approached the fortress of Orleans, she led her troops to break through the enemy's siege, and fought hard to defeat the British army. Her heroic deeds are widely known, and she is known as the "Girl of Orleans". But it also caused the jealousy of the French aristocracy. At the Battle of Compiègne, she was betrayed and fell into the hands of the Burgundian rebels. The British attempted to exchange a lot of money for Joan of Arc. The film intercepts the historical episodes of Joan of Arc's upright and unyielding confrontation with judges in prisons and courtrooms. The main trial content is the issue of belief, and the main scenes of the Justice Square and the Marche Palace are used to compress the plot time into one day. Joan of Arc's elegance and heroism. The film continues to unfold as the heroine's physical and mental pain intensifies. In the end, Joan of Arc was taken to the square of Rouen, where she was tied at the stake and burned alive.

One of Dreyer's greatest works. The film was originally destroyed by fire, but after many twists and turns, a precious film was discovered, which was restored in 1986. The lighting of the whole film is full of artistic perfection and perfect modeling, just like a classical portrait oil painting, which vividly reflects the personality of the characters. Although silent films are not good at expressing dialogue, a large number of facial close-ups and montages undoubtedly show this trial perfectly.

Love the clean art, this is probably the greatest movie I've ever seen. A technical technique becomes art because there is something in it that transcends craftsmanship. The close-up here not only amplifies the emotions and feelings, not only the sacred solemnity of courage, not only the evil and horror of authoritarianism, but also the same scene. Joan of Arc and others are placed in two worlds, and the isolated tragedy belongs to Joan of Arc. The panning mirror shows the intriguing relationship between the judges, avoids interrupting the endless small scenes in the film, and allows the shocking feeling to run through.
